The Last of Us Part II's biggest problem isn't its violence, but how unnecessarily long the game is.

, the latest high profile game that blurs the lines between gaming and cinema, can take anywhere from 20 to 30 hours to complete. That’s longer than any season of. It eats up considerably more time than a full season of a typical broadcast TV drama. In the time it takes you to finish, you can watch all eight Fast and Furious films—and make it deep into a full rewatch.

More significantly, though, is the fact that it’s exhausting to spend so much time in a story fully devoted to hatred and vengeance. There’s not much levity in this game, and no comic relief.

, reasonably enough, involves the player actually playing it. It might seem weird to criticize a game for havingmuch game, but too often these sections feel bloated and repetitive. As you travel from one gutted house to another, or ransack a city block of burned-out businesses, you’ll regularly have to contend with the game’s zombies or, worse, human enemies, running through the same tactics and techniques without much to vary up the routine.
